Comments: Cysteine at position β112 (G14) is an internal residue in the central cavity and participates in the α1β1 interactions throught contact with the α107 (G14)Val, α110 (G17)Ala, and α122 (H5)His residues. Replacement of the hydrophobic cysteine by a larger, polar arginine probably leads to an inadequate adaptation that causes some degree of instability. Initially reported in a heterozygous state in a family with a severe, dominantly inherited β-thalassemia phenotype. Extremely unstable variant; its identity could only be studied by biosynthetic analysis in which a radio-active abnormal peak was observed [PMID: 429365, 447835]. Later reported in families from Spain [PMID: 3781865] and Italy [PMID: 3170235] with a benign clinical image; no anaemia with only a slight reticulocytosis. Variant was mildly unstable (~40% of the total β-globin). Reported in a Brazilian patient with moderate anaemia, mild reticulocytosis and acute renal failure. Instability tests (heat, isopropanol, and n-butanol) and Heinz body tests were all positive [PMID: 17211844]. To address this phenotypic discrepancy, further investigation of the original family by DNA sequencing revealed the presence of a different mutation in the β-globin gene; the variant was renamed to Hb Terre Haute [IthaID: 230] [PMID: 2005117].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
